‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ fires NeNe Leakes & Kim Zolciak

Atlanta, Dec 13 (THAINDIAN NEWS) According to latest reports, Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes have been fired from ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ and the producers of the show are on the lookout for more high profile stars to replace the continuously feuding and tantrum throwing stars. “Things with NeNe and Kim have been intense but Bravo feels the show is about the franchise as a whole and won’t let one person stop it,” says an insider.
The producers are also fed up with their starry tantrums. So they were making plans to replace them for quite some time. Also according to one insider, the producers are already in talks with ‘some notable and wealthy Atlanta women’ who might join the show and replace the feuding Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes.
According to a little birdie, a new Southern socialite may join the show as a sixth housewife. Also the network is thinking very strongly about bringing back the popular housewives like Kandi Burruss and Sheree Whitefield. Kandi was a perennial favorite last year and the audience simply adorned her. And Sheree was also a definite standout with her oft-repeated statement, ‘Who gonna check me, boo?’
The producers fired NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak because they were demanding more money than the producers could afford to shell out. Plus because of their popularity they had changed too, and their starry tantrums were getting too much for the production team to handle.

I’m quite sure someone will scoop Nene up fast. There are lots of people out of work. In worse conditions than she. She should think she’s all that and a bag of chips.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:37 am
I will not watch if Nene is gone !
December 14th, 2009 at 2:40 am
Gooood!! I was getting tired of them anyway. Bring back Dashawn.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:43 am
How many 30 year olds do you know running around in a Bentley, as in Kim? Way too into herself for a single woman. Glad she’s gone…
December 14th, 2009 at 2:50 am
OMG…I cannot believe this. Nene and Kim are the stars of the show. Without them, there is no show. Boo to you Bravo…Booooooooo.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:59 am
Nene and Kim make the show with all the drama we are not looking for a good season.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:18 am
I have watched all the Real Housewives Series. I LOVE this series from Atlanta.
I do think that NeNe is a major person in this series. I think if they get rid of her, their ratings will drop tremendously.
I will be very saddened if they get rid of her.
As for as for Kim, I could really care less if she was on the show or not. She says that she needs a nanny, hell she is NEVER with her kids and PLUS she DOESN’T WORK! LOL
Im from Louisiana and if u have kids and don’t work.. ur a stay at home mommy. You raise ur kids , not hire someone to raise them for u. while u go out and party.
I think that is RIDICULOUS!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:19 am
I will not watch the show without NENE She is a true southern gal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:20 am
I think they’re making such a mistake — NeNe and Kim were irresistible to watch. They were right to ask for more money.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:27 am
I am not surprised Kim is sent packing. They need to replace her with a real black woman. Afterwards Bravo could sell the show to BET.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:29 am
will not be watching if Nene and Kim are gone, I was always looked forward to watching those two gals, along with Kandi, didn’t really like Sheree
December 14th, 2009 at 3:30 am
Kim takes so much damn money to keep happy. Thanks alot Bravo now I have to pay 100% for her needs. I am going to pick up a new girl at waffle house just like Tiger W.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:31 am
BawdyGawdy is not pleased.
This is not acceptable. And will not be tolerated. BRAVeo
please reconsider your options or risk your HOUSEWIVES base.
Your associate producer
at large,
Baudy Gawdy.INC
December 14th, 2009 at 3:34 am
I am glad to see them go. And if Sheree wants to leave also, let her go as well. I am sure Atlanta has a better representation that any of them.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:35 am
I’m a member of Team Nene, and I’m shocked and saddened that Nene and Kim have been released. I can’t stand Kim- but can’t imagine not having her around for Nene to tango with. I guess that’s why Bravo booted the pair, but hey- No Nene….No Kim… No Show!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:40 am
Best news I’ve heard in a very long time……………..I can’t stand Nene and Kim is way to dramatic for me …………..you made my day ……………………adios Buit****
December 14th, 2009 at 3:47 am
I am sooo happy Kim is gone I think she starts all of the problems. She tries to act inocent she can’t sing for nothing. WOHOOOO she’s gone!!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:51 am
I’m glad they’re both leaving! Kim should never have been on the show to begin with & NeNe was just annoying!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:52 am
Let us get over reality programs most of them end up in a diaster!!!!!!!!!!! I have never watched and never will they are and there husbands are just whores and pimps. God they should feel loved!!! Get my point i am sure not by most of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:57 am
This is totally unfathomable to me.People that are totally unknown to the general public are put on ‘reality’ shows and suddenly they’re ’stars’ that start making salary demands and want all of the perks that actors would receive-The difference being that the actors have put years into developing their craft, while these instant celebs are just that-people that become famous just for being on television. Sadly, these ’stars’ actually have their fans (many here, apparently) that believe these people actually deserve the diva treatment.
In other words-These are just totally ungrateful prima donnas that need to be escorted to the curb.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:05 am
With Ne-Ne I will not watch your show.
Kim, no big deal if she is off the show. Her 15 minuets of fame is over anyway.
Come On, give Ne-Ne a raise in pay.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:06 am
Keep Ne-ne
December 14th, 2009 at 4:14 am
I WONT B THE SAME WITHOUT THOSE 2!
December 14th, 2009 at 4:18 am
who cares………tired of NeNe winning all the time
December 14th, 2009 at 4:19 am
I think Bravo is making a big mistake also… NeNe is a BIG part of the show and it will not be the same without her. I don’t think Sheree adds much to the show and wouldn’t be sad to see her go. Without NeNe I will not be watching next season and need to erase my DVR setting not to tape the show!!!!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 4:20 am
Who cares…….tired of NeNe winning all the time. Kim will be missed, she should have enough money right(?) Big Pappa
December 14th, 2009 at 4:23 am
NO NENE NO SHOW!!!!! BIG MISSTAKE
December 14th, 2009 at 4:27 am
It is about time they do not represent us as Atlanta housewives!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 4:42 am
Can”t believe they call these so called “ladies” Stars!! The only star is Kandi!!! Glad to see both Nene and Kim go, both are annoying and have let this lowlife show go to their heads.Please, you won’t have anything if it wasn’t for your husbands!!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 4:46 am
Nene is so ghetto, glad she will be gone. We will ghetto-ver-her. Kim CANNOT sing. That is the most annoying shtick “Tardy for the Party” so lame, just a white chick trying ti fit in.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:46 am
This show is a train wreck even on a good day. I can’t stand either one of them, Kims’ a money hoochymamma and NeNe is a bit–! I love Kandi, she is what I call a “REAL” southern lady. It would be nice if for once the exec’s considered women as role models and not a potential cat fight for their viewing pleasure. Please, please, put women of substance on your shows. Our daighters are watching people!!!!,
December 14th, 2009 at 4:51 am
I love Nene, she keeps it real, and Kim is ok..BUT, you are on “reality” t.v. there are millions more who would take their place..THEY ARE GETTING GREEEEDY!What makes you think you should get anymore than the next..LET ‘EM GO..THE SHOW “WILL” GO ON!
December 14th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Thank God Kim is is gone….
Talk about spoiled rotten brat…I feel sorry for “Big P”…I wonder..does he write her off as a loss every year on his taxes. Cuz he aint gainin’ nothing…but a high maintainance headache.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:54 am
I think the whole show should disappear and perhaps spend their money in showing “real” people with their day to day problems and (hopefully) solutions instead of these lazy, no talent, wortless, moral-less skanks who only think of themselves!!
December 14th, 2009 at 4:55 am
I would think that the producers could find many replacements for them. Heck, anybody with cheek, chin, and boob implants and Baboon Butt lips can star in a show like this!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:04 am
People that watch these housewife shows are fat white trash.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:10 am
I love Nene and I hate to see her go!!!!!!!! Kim on the other hand works on my nerves…She’s not a housewife anyways nor is she a model mother or a good singer for that matter…A gold diggin’ trash box is all she is good at being…Bad decision to get rid of Nene but I myself am happy to see Kim go…
December 14th, 2009 at 5:10 am
I wouldn’t pay them a dine more amd infact I would pay them about $7.50 an hour for all the BS they show off.. When I see the show on the TV I just trun the channel.. I would find some real people for the show if I was the producers or writers!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:13 am
I am sooooo glad they got rid of both. They are so riduculous and the show is better off without them, especially if their so independent and have money, how dare they want more in this economy. Get over yourselves, ladies. i’m sure Bravo will come up with more stupid drama and you will all not miss Miss ugly and Miss Stupid!!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:14 am
I will not be watching The Real Housewives Of Atlanta if Nene and Kim are not on there. Those two made the show what it is.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:24 am
What the? NeNe is the one who made the show and put it on the map! There’s no point of watching unless it’s time for bed. Then Sheree’s boring butt can put me to sleep. As for Kim, don’t let the door hit ya on the way out!
NeNe You go girl, we love ya!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:24 am
i was getting tired of kim…all she did was shop, smoke and drink….she was boring…..
nene was funny…they should keep her…bring her back she is a mess…
December 14th, 2009 at 5:28 am
the real housewives are crazy…they are women who sit around and complain, fight and party while they live off there ex husbands money….they need to get a life!!!!! get a job!!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:28 am
Happy days are here again! They need to find real jobs like the rest of us!
Deshawn is a classy lady, and she should return.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:30 am
This type of programming is so completely inane; the fact that this rates as any kind of news is completely ridiculous. It would also be nice if the person writing this moronic article knew the difference between ‘adored’ and adorned’. I know the writer meant to use ‘adored’, but maybe the individual is just as unqualified as these whiney socialites who seem to have nothing better to do with their time than plan coup de grâce on their unscrupulous friends. Maybe instead of being shallow and narcissistic these so-called ‘real housewives’ could do some good in their communities. Fire two of the cast members? Fire them all! And then fire the executive who came up with this sorry excuse for entertainment!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:36 am
best news ever…
hopefully Bravo will find REAL better drama filled women to replace these two fakes.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:36 am
Man without NeNe the show will be kinda ok because she was the drama queen and then on top of that Kim was just too damn dramatical but i loved both of them tho so without them there is no SHOW!! I love Kandi and Lisa but Sheree can be replaced with someone prettier because she is an ugly whore!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:39 am
Kim can go…but I think them letting NeNe go will be a big mistake.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:40 am
Ok Lisa is Ok… Kim is Ok… Sheree is Ok… NeNe is annoying as hell with her f’n voice and she needs to be focusin on her son by the way i think that he soo NOT cute… KANDI IS THE SHIT I LOVE YA GIRL AND I THINK THAT U R THE STAR OF THE SHOW!!!!!!!!! u dont take drama and i believe u would’ve whipped NeNe man lookin ass cuz someone needs to if i lived in atlanta i would whip her ass cuz she has way too much mouth..That damn BIG ASS AMAZON OMG!!! Who do she think she is but thats still my girl tho but Kandi u rock and I cant wait until your album drops cuz I FLY ABOVE ALL THE DRAMA AND BS….ONE MORE THING R.I.P AJ YOU ARE MISSED AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WATCHING OVER KANDI AND HOLDING HER AT NIGHT!!
December 14th, 2009 at 5:41 am
all the housewives should have been black anyways.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:46 am
Keep NeNe, but tell her to bump all of the childish bickering. By to Kim, hope you find a job.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:47 am
NeNe is loud, rude and crude so is Kim. The entire show is a joke. Cancel please.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:49 am
CANCEL THIS SHOW.
December 14th, 2009 at 6:05 am
YES!!!! I am so glad Nene is GONE!!! I posted on Bravo several times that this show was not called NENE and the Housewives of Atlanta… kim on the other hand, was dog out so much, she use her silver spoon attitude in an attempt to fit in..
December 14th, 2009 at 2:35 pm

April 12th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Good Riddaince, now, if they would replace both Sheree & Lisa Wu, we may very well have a show worth watching!!!!!
April 13th, 2010 at 5:41 am
way 2 go I am so glad NENE IS GONE!!!!,on the other hand Kim I think was fighting back the only way she knew how, being the minority on this show.
January 24th, 2011 at 3:16 am
